Ahli assistant coach Hossam Al-Badri said he was not worried that his side will face Young Africans on an artificial pitch in the Champions League round of 32 second leg.

"We do not have any problems to play on that pitch," Al-Badri told Ahli's official website on Saturday.

"Last year, we played against ASEC Mimosas and (Zimbabwean side) Dynamos on artificial turfs so we should not be worried."

Title holders Ahli, who aim to win a seventh Champions League title, visit Tanzania's Young Africans on April fourth.

The Red Devils hold a comfortable three-goal advantage from the first leg, having crushed Yanga 3-0 at Cairo Stadium.
